Several things. A recent sighting on my facebook feed described "Japanese Frankenstein shoes" as encountered in a Japanese fashion magazine. i googled this, like-ya-do, and didn't come up with anything sartorially worthwhile, but a wikipedia link to Vampire Girl versus Frankenstein Girl popped up at the top. This is fascinating, and lead to the linking of honmei chocolate ("true feeling chocolate", apparently that given by women to their significant others on Valentines), as well as it's lower quality counterpart, giri chocolate ("obligation chocolate", given by women to males for whom they don't have romantic feelings. i'm pretty astonished that this is an actual named thing.This lead to White Day, which is when the guys give gifts to ladies. i suppose spacing out the gift-giving allows for guys to know which ladies to focus on, as well as what sort of gifts to give? Wow.
From the NY Times, an article addressing concerns that marathons are hard on peoples' hearts (basically, they are if you have a pre-standing heart problem), and an article regarding the search and recovery of the body of Micah True/Caballo Blanco (of the Born To Run fame), following a heart attack while running.
